to impose and continue an illegall Tax and so great as was never yet imposed in the time of most urgent necessity since the Norman Conquest and beyond all this have brought in a most arbytrary and tyrannicall Government in taking away the Lives of their Soveraign and His Peeres by new and illegall Courts and have drawne the Free-borne People of England in to a most miserable bondage and slavery far worse than the Turks or any Nation under the Sun And as in State they have overthrown all good wholsome Government so likewise in Church they have shut out all decent and uniforme order and let in a generall and loathsome confusion having imprisoned sequestred all the Reverend learned and orthodox Divines and suffer in their places none but a peevish ignorant and factious Clergy who flatter them in their iniquities and delude the people in abusing the sence of holy Writ and preaching nothing but Rebellion and sedition so that in stead of the antient Rites of the Church the Divine Service wholsome Doctrines and holy Sacraments which they have quite cast out as Popish Superstitious and Antichristian they have introduced nothing but factions seditions schismes heresies and unparalell'd blasphemies both against the Lord his Anointed and have granted a generall toleration of all Religions and as we heare have not only permitted but ordered the Turkish Alchoran to be printed in English and notwithstanding the many scandals that they have often cast upon His late Majesties reputation for upholding the Irish Rebellion they have entred into a League Confederacy with Owen Roe Oneale that barbarous and bloody Rebell to destroy all the honest and loyall Protestants so that the world may plainly see that they have cheated them with their hypocriticall pretences to Religion Fastings Thanksgivings not regarding Oathes Covenants Protestations nor Declarations nor caring what damnable designes they passe to the support of their rebellious interest so that by Sacriledge Rebellion Murder Perjury Theft Oppression Tyranny Regicide they have couzened the people of their antient Lawes and Liberties and subjected them to the miserable slavery of their tyrannicall wills And now we doe declare that in the beginning of unhappy differences being fully satisfied of the justnesse of His late Majesties cause in our judgements and conscience according to our duty and allegiance we tooke up Armes on His Majesties Party where we continu'd faithfully acting to the utmost of our power what ever might make for His Majesties advantage and have since manifested our unstained Loyalty in our patient sufferings not having neglected any thing even in our most clouded condition which might renew His Majesties interest in the Field and we doe protest in the presence of Almighty God that we shall alwaies use the same fidelity and industry in the trust reposed in us by our present dread Soveraigne holding our selves bound in the same bonds of fealty to His Majesty that we were to the late King His Father of ever blessed yet bleeding memory nor shall we lay down Armes but by Gods assistance faithfully and resolutely pursue His Majesties Enemies till we have reduced all that are in Rebellion to their due obedience brought the Murderers of His late Majesty to speedy impartiall justice and absolutely destroyed their interest both by Land and Sea nor can we imagine but that all honest men who have any sence of His Majesties sufferings their owne loyalty and their Countries misery will chearfully give their assistance both in purse and person in carrying on this pious honorable Ingagement wherein is so deeply concerned maintenance of the true Protestant Religion the preservation of His Majesties Royall Person from murder together with His just Rights and Prerogatives the Priviledges of Parliaments the Law of the Land the Liberty of the Subject and the suppression of Rebellion not questioning but that God will at length owne his owne cause and remove all those clouds which have hitherto darkned the splendor thereof that so its true luster may plainly fully appear to the eye of every mans judgement to his own glory His Majesties honor the good of the people From Douglas in the Isle of Man August the 5. 1649.
